South Dayi MP Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor has urged Parliament to refrain from directly investigating the alleged bribery scandal surrounding the AKSA power deal. He suggested that Parliament should stay out of the matter and allow relevant state institutions to handle it instead, supported by a team of experts and civil society representatives.
Appearing on JoyNews' Newsfile, Dafeamekpor argued that Parliament's involvement could create a conflict of interest due to its role in approving public contracts and overseeing government business. He proposed a team consisting of representatives from the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), the Attorney-General's Office, the judiciary, and relevant civil society organizations.
Dafeamekpor emphasized the importance of utilizing the information already gathered by state institutions, noting that the OSP had already provided significant assistance to US authorities investigating aspects of the matter.
